AIUI
BY JAMES J. RICHARDSON.
Slowly but surely the minor league
circuits throughout he country are
closing up shop for the balance of the
present season and, perhaps, for the
period of the war.
Last Sunday the Pacific Coast In
ternational rang down the curtain on
completion of one-half of Its sched
uled games. By playing 10 weeks of
baseball the rules of the national com
mission gave President Blewetfs cir
cuit the privilege of retaining title to
franchise and players.
Today, the Pacific Coast League, the
only class AA organization in the Far
West, will hang out the crepe In com
memorative record of what was the
most disastrous period of baseball in
its history.
"Work or Fight" Law Excuse.
To the heavy inroads made upon
players of draft age of divers clubs of
the Pacific Coast League by Provost
Marshal General Crowder's "work or
fight" edict is attributed the chief
cause of the Pacific Coast League's
decision to suspend operations. While
this Government mandate undoubtedly
materially helped the directors reach
their decision to conclude the season
after today's games, the main factor in
causing the P. C. L. directors to toss
up the sponge of adversity was the
poor attendance.
The "work or fight" edict has been
wonderful alibi for many various
non-paying propositions, but in the
case of minor league baseball it has
been worked overtime.
With the exception of Salt Lake, the
clubs of the Pacific Coast League have
been playing to only a handful of fans
in comparison to crowds of past sea
sons. Vernon has been wobbling fi-
uanc.ally for some months and Tom
Darmody has been singing a song of
distress that threatened to disrupt the
organization ions; before thic. but the
other magnates braced the Vernon
mogul up with words of encourage
ment and he stepped out and raised
enough lucre to make the grade.
But the question is "What will Salt
Lake say about the decision to quit?'
".alter McCredle Surprised.
Walter McCredle. manager of the
Bees, and the Mormon City directors
were laboring under the opinion that
the league would stand the gaff until
it played out Ha 30-week schedule, at
least, that is the Impression conveyed
to Judge McCredle In a telegram sent
recently by Walter McCredle in hi
mad quest for players.
When Salt Lake lost Leverenz. Siglln
and Chappelle by enlistment, McCredle
burnt up the wires in a frantic effort
to secure help. He purchased players
from the Southern Association and was
in communication with Judge Mc
Credle for the services of Players Dau-
bert, Daniels, Lee and Rapp. Of the
quartet wanted, Daubert was the only
one to take a chance. The others are
firmly planted at one of the Portland
shipyards.
In his telegrams, McCredle assured
the players that the circuit would fin
ish the season. The Bee pilot must
have been given this assurance by the
league magnates otherwise he would
not want to pay transportation from
Portland to Salt Lake for four men un
less he was positive the circuit would
finish.
The Salt Lake directors transported
two players from the Southern Asso
elation and must have done so only
after being Informed by their brother
magnates that the season was sure to
be played out.
Closnre Probably Permanent.
It Is doubtful if the Pacific Coast
League will again open its gates until
the present fight to make the world
free for democracy has ended vic
toriously lor the allies. The same
status applies to practically all minor
leagues and unless the end comes be
fore next Spring it Is probable the
major circuits will also vote to close
their gates for the duration of the war.
Cliff Lee. Daniels and Rapp are
laughing up their sleeves at the plight
of Harry Daubert, who left last Mon
day for alt Lake in preference to ac
cepting a position with one of the local
shipyard. Unless the rules of the Columbia-Willamette
Shipbuilders' League
are modified it will be impossible for
Daubert or any other player to cavort
in a shipyard league game. There is
nothing to prevent Daubert from work
ing in the yards, but as far as playing
baseball it's curtains.
Talking of resurrecting the aged and
infirm and getting them into major
league baseball uniforms we notice
with great delight an account of a
game played by the Multnomah Club
baseball team last week which reported
with great emphasis the brilliant play
ing and terrific clouting of the horse
hide pill by Harry Fischer he of
bachelor apartments at the Multnomah
Club and owner of a gasoline chariot
of quite some design.
Fischer was a baseball star of the
first magnitude on Portland eandlots
when the Willamette River was a creek.
He was regarded as the Ty Cobb of
the Rose City. 'Tis said Fischer pur
chased bouquets of posies and had them
presented to himself on crowded days
on the eandlots of Albina and Sellwood.
Now he Is doing a comeback and the
homefolks are singing his praises to
the youngsters. More power to him.

where a picnic will be held for the em
ployes of the Supple-Ballin Co.
Rube Maxmeyer, the 'hard-luck"
hurler of the league, will probably
open against Supple-Ballin. who will
start either Davis, the Indian right
hander, or Meuth.
Grant Smith-Porter mid Foundation,
rivals in the first half of the season
for the championship of the league,
will tangle at St. Johns. In their pre
vious engagement they drew a capacity
stand and expect to duplicate that feat.
Fisher to Be In I.lne-lp.
Bill Fisher will take hold of the St.
Johns team and will probably play
nrst Instead of Hogan. Eddie Yates,
former manager, will also be in the
line-up and will be stationed at third
base. The old-timer has been swat
ting the pill at a terrific clip, getting
two two-b.ifrgers last Sunday.
Wayne Bar ham will be on the mound
for St. Johns, while Foundation will
start either James or Kvans. Evans
isn't pitching as good a came as ex
pected, but is bound to pick up.
Standifer and Cornfoot will meet in
the banner game of the day at Van
couver. Wash. Cornfoot is 'tied with
McCormick - for f lrst -"pla"ce; "while
Standifer Is third.
Plllett Likely Choir.
Either Plllett or Krause will be the
heaver for Vancouver. Plllett started
the season in whirlwind fashion, but
has fallen down lately, and his wild
ness was the cause of Standifer's only
defeat, at the hands of McCormick.
However, should he be in the pink of
condition. Manager Casey's men will
have a hard bone to pick as the "Strinsr
Bean" has everything on the ball a
pitcher should hae, and with a little
support from his teammates, will un
doubtedly give Cornfoot a hard tussle
Casey will start either Rapp or Suth
erland. The former Is just ripe from
the Coast International League and is
in fine shape.
Columbia River and McCormick will
hook up at St. Helens. The latter is
first, while Columbia River is in the
cellar; nevertheless, a good game is
expected. St. Helens always has good
crowds attending its games and. even
though Columbia River Is considered
a weak team, & large crowd may be
counted upon.

Ty Doesn't Believe In Flaying AVIiilo

WASHINGTON, July 13. Unless the
Government holds baseball an essen
tial occupation, Ty Cobb will quit tho
game after this season for the war.
"I am shaping my business affairs
so that by the time the season endj
I will be able to do my part," said the
Detroit star tonight.
"I don't believe the people care to see
a lot of big, healthy young men out
on the field playing ball while their
sons and brothers are abroad riskintr
their lives to conquer the Huns."
